Default cigarette lighter socket diy?

Hello, I'm trying to change the cigarette lighter in the ash tray. I got it out of the car. How do I open it up to change the socket? Thanks in advance!

Once you have the whole assembely out of the car the fold out tray comes out of the holder, all the wires just unplug, then you just unscrew the cylinder/ring on the back of the lighter and it slide out the front, the socket is just sandwiched in there by the front lip and rear ring. Easy stuff just take a good look at it, you will get it.
